Introduction:

In 1859, the ancestor of Houkui, Zheng Shouqing, opened a tea garden on the Bank of the machuan River, where the mountains are high, the soil is rich, the clouds are steaming and the fog is blue. Zheng Benkui and the local tea farmers produced a flat, straight, fresh and mellow “Jiancha- Bud Tea” with orchid fragrance, which was named “Taiping Jiancha”. It is generally believed that “Taiping Jiancha” is the predecessor of Taiping Houkui. Since Mr. Zheng Shouqing personally inherited the Six-hundred Mile Houkui, it has always represented the highest level of Taiping Houkui.

In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, Taiping people opened hundreds of tea houses, tea shops and tea shops in Nanjing, Yangzhou and Wuhan. Taiping tea was very popular along the Yangtze River, and Taiping tea and tea merchants flourished for a time. At that time, Jiangnanchun tea purchasing station in his hometown Xinming tea district, in order to increase tea varieties, improve product grade and earn higher commercial profits, specially asked people to pick out the buds and leaves with the same size of branches, package them separately, and transport them to Nanjing for high price sales, which was deeply loved by tea lovers and achieved success. Wang Kui Cheng, a tea farmer who lives in Hougang, is known as Wang Lao er. He has rich experience in tea production. He is especially good at tea processing and has a quick mind. He was inspired to think that rather than selecting after tea is finished, it is better to start picking fresh leaves carefully. So he carefully selected one strong bud and two leaves in a mountain tea garden, 750 meters above sea level. After careful production, the dried tea has good specifications and high quality, which is called “Wang Lao Er Kui Jian”. Because the quality of this tea is located in the first place of Jiancha, and its founder is also called kuicheng. It is produced in Houkeng and Hougang of Taiping County, so this tea is called “Taiping Houkui”.

Even if the amount of tea is too much, it will not be bitter and astringent, while other teas will be bitter and astringent if they are too much, and the brewing of Taiping Houkui is relatively simple.

The leaves are pale green and smooth, and the veins are green and red, commonly known as “red silk thread”. Orchid high fragrance, mellow taste and a sweet aftertaste, soup color clear green, wet leaf is light green and bright, and the buds and leaves are plump.
